First published in 1998, Black Globalism: The International
Politics of a Non-state Nation examines the international political
behaviour of African-Americans. From the slave revolts of Denmark
Vesey and Nat Turner, to the influence of the Congressional Black
Caucus on US foreign policy, the author examines the impact of the
domestic racial environment on the international interests and
activities of African-Americans. Black Globalism uses three levels
of analysis to describe the dimensions of this international
activity. At the individual level, the emigration debate which
included Frederick Douglass, David Walker, Benjamin Russworm, Paul
Cuffee, Martin Delany is considered. Here, the emigration efforts
of Chief Alfred Sam, Bishop Henry Turner and Marcus Garvey are
examined. The influence of scholar and activist W.E.B. DuBois and
the leadership of Malcolm X is examined with respect to their
ideological impact on the transnational political activity on
organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement
of Coloured People, the Nation of Islam, and the Black Panther
Party. From the 1869 appointment of Andrew Young to the US
Ambassador to the United Nations, the impact of African-Americans
on US foreign policy decision making is examined. This includes the
Congressional Black Caucus' influence on president Clinton's
humanitarian intervention in Haiti. This governmental level
analysis includes an examination of the history and politics of
desegregating the US Department of State. Finally, the relative
economic status of African-Americans in the domestic and global
economic system is considered with respect to the shrinking of the
welfare state and the challenges of the post-cold war global
economy.
